Answer 1

Something like this

function sortTable(table, order) {
    var asc   = order === 'asc',
        tbody = table.find('tbody');

    tbody.find('tr').sort(function(a, b) {
        if (asc) {
            return $('td:first', a).text().localeCompare($('td:first', b).text());
        } else {
            return $('td:first', b).text().localeCompare($('td:first', a).text());
        }
    }).appendTo(tbody);
}

could be called on any table like this

sortTable($('#mytable'),'asc');
